[Chapter 38 Back to the Imperial Capital, the Prince's Ambition]
PS: To say a few words, this book is a historical novel, not a fantasy. Classifications such as Sword Saint and Sword God are just gimmicks made up by the Holy Ancestor, a traverser, representing the level of swordsmanship. No big deal. In addition, this is a time and space that has inherited the previous generation of time-travelers, so the combination of certain modern systems and ancient society is normal, isn't it?!
Finally, ask for votes! All kinds of requests!
When I came out of the Xuchang Mansion, it was already evening. When Shen Yun and Fang Cheng returned to the post station, Aunt Gongsun was anxiously walking back and forth in the room, and when she saw them, she immediately stepped forward and asked urgently, "Where have you been?" But Zhou Bo Lao'er disagrees with you? ”
Shen Yun and Fang Cheng glanced at each other, but Shen Yun spoke: "Don't worry, Auntie, we have already met His Royal Highness Yinggong." ”
"Oh?" Aunt Gongsun once again showed a suspicious look, looked at Shen Yun, her face became gloomy, and said, "What did he say?" ”
Shen Yun knew from her expression that this woman's swordsmanship was indeed exquisite, but she was a little suspicious in her heart, and it seemed that this legendary character also had character shortcomings.
"Your Highness also learned about this matter, and called the subordinates in charge on the spot and punished them," Shen Yun recalled the scene at that time and said, "Auntie, those subordinates of the Ying Mansion did not tell His Highness about this matter, and it was their own initiative that led to the current situation." Ying Gong still respects his mother in his heart, no, when he learned that it was the only son of the eldest mother who went to sea with him, he was also in a hurry, so he specially gave me a handwritten letter, so that you could take this handwritten letter to the Jiaolongwei headquarters in Jiangnan County, where someone would arrange a ship for you to chase Ling Lang. ”
"You want me to go to sea too?" Aunt Gongsun was suddenly puzzled.
Shen Yun nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness said that Ling Lang signed the contract by himself, and as the Duke of Ying, he has no right to order him back." But you are his mother, and if you go and call him back in person, you will not dare to disobey him. This is the biggest concession that Ying Gong can make! ”
Aunt Gongsun pondered for a long time. Biting his lip, he said, "Are you sure Zhou Bo really didn't know about this in advance?" ”
Fang Cheng couldn't help but step forward and said, "I think it's true." Now that the New South Wales is in rebellion, the Duke of England has too many things to deal with, where will he care about this small matter? There must be no doubt that those who are subordinates make their own claims! ”
Shen Yun also nodded and said, "Not bad." In my opinion, why don't you go home first? Ling Lang is also an adult, and he will take care of himself. What's more, there are countless Han ships that come and go to the sea every year, and there are always few accidents, maybe it will take a year or two, which makes Lang feel that the sea is boring. It doesn't have to be that he came back first. ”
Aunt Gongsun shook her head: "No, you don't understand Xing'er's temper...... Okay, I'll take my handbook and go out to sea. As for you saying that Ying Gong really didn't know about this in advance, then I'll let him go! However, a little lesson still needs to be learned! "Finished. didn't wait for Shen Yun and Fang Cheng to say anything else, picked up the handbook and went out.
"Huh. The eldest lady ......" Shen Yun chased out of the room. only to see that her rabbit figure had disappeared into the backyard.
"This ......" Shen Yun was a little dumbfounded.
Fang Cheng, who went out with him, was also taken aback by Aunt Gongsun's posture, except for Tu Tianjiao and Shi Qian, they really hadn't seen anyone so powerful in light body kung fu. This is the third floor of the post station, and the vertical height is at least about ten meters, but Aunt Gongsun actually went down as she said, and her figure still had an elegant taste. Coupled with her amazing swordsmanship - it seems that she was really not bragging when she said that she was going to take the head of the Ying Gong tonight!
"Yuan Rang, do you think we should go and inform Ying Gong?" Looking at the direction in which Aunt Gongsun disappeared. Fang Cheng muttered.
Shen Yun smiled bitterly: "Forget it, the eldest lady is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, this time she was just forced by those subordinates to be anxious, and she just wanted to warn Yinggong, it shouldn't be anything big." Besides, hmph, I want to teach that old disrespectful guy a lesson! ”
Fang Cheng remembered what happened later in the afternoon, and sighed in his heart.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
When Shen Yun said those words, Hou Guang and the others changed color one after another, but Ying Gong himself was expressionless. After a while, I saw him smile, waved his hand and said, "The child is frivolous!" Then he said to Hou Guang and the others: "You guys go out, I'll say a few words to Bohai Hou!" ”
When he heard the first half of the sentence, Shen Yun's face was unhappy, but in the second half of the sentence, even Fang Cheng stood up.
Not to mention that this is the Xuchang Mansion, no matter how big the Ying Gong is, he can't drive the master out so rudely, just say that he began to call Shen Yun the Marquis of Bohai, and what he said "childly frivolous" is enough to make Fang Cheng also change color.
Hou Guang and the others bowed and retreated with a sneer, but Fang Cheng took a few steps forward, stood side by side with Shen Yun, and said angrily: "Your Royal Highness Yinggong, why did you suddenly say something to ridicule us?" ”
Ying Gong was not in a hurry, he reached out and lifted the teacup and took a sip lightly, then looked at Fang Cheng and said, "Do you know that Ling Zun doesn't dare to talk to me in such a tone?!" ”
"Your Highness is afraid and doesn't dare to talk to your father like this, right?!" Fang Cheng was not afraid, stared into his eyes, and replied.
Ying Gong didn't care, turned to Shen Yun and said: "The old man has been an official for decades, and he knows a truth, how big a bowl can eat as much as he wants, and if you say that you are frivolous, don't admit it!" Shen Yuanrang, what you said today, do you know how much trouble it will bring to the old man if it is spread out? And how much trouble will it cause you? If I don't scold you today, tomorrow you will be impeached by countless people for disrespect, immorality, arrogance, disobedience and other crimes, and at that time, your title as Marquis of Bohai may not be able to be kept! Do you believe it or not? ”
Shen Yun looked at Ying Gong in confusion, but said on his lips: "Your Highness, I just follow the psychological words below......
"It's again!" Ying Gong unceremoniously waved his hand and interrupted Shen Yun's words, "It's also psychological, hum, your psychological words are nothing more than guessing that the old man has no intention of leading Jiaolongwei and wants to lead the cavalry, so you have the intention to dispel the old man's hostility towards you!" Bohai Hou, who can guess the old man's thoughts, why not you? ”
Shen Yun and Fang Cheng were stunned at the same time. This is really an old man, how can he guess Shen Yun's thoughts?
Ying Gong said to himself: "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know that the old man focuses on cavalry warfare and does not like naval warfare. But so what? Isn't the old man the commander of the Jiaolong Guard for twelve years?! Originally, I learned that you came to visit the old man, and the old man was much happier in his heart, and said that although you Bohai Hou is young and vigorous, you still know how to be polite, and the previous will be put aside. Don't mention it. But you think you are smart, and you actually add the name of 'the strong marquis of the world' to the old man, but you don't think Your Majesty is enough to be wary of me? But I doubt that His Majesty will not use people?? But he objected to Ling Zun's last wish??? Hmph, such a kingless and fatherless person, are you afraid that no one will impeach you for your immorality, delusion, and disobedience? ”
After saying this, Ying Gong was already full of voice, the long beard under his chin was windless, and his bright eyes could almost turn into substance, stabbing directly at Shen Yun and Fang Cheng's bodies. The two of them were already in a cold sweat.
is worthy of being the flying eagle general of the year, and the current Han Yinggong. Such a power is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Shen Yun had seen the duke and the emperor before, but these people were polite to him, and even a little spoiled. There had never been a high-ranking person who had reprimanded Shen Yun so harshly. Speaking of which. Which of these long-time high-ranking people is not majestic?! The power of that stare and body together was enough to make ordinary people tremble with fright. Shen Yun was also unintentional. I didn't expect a word of kindness from myself. It will actually make Yinggong embarrassed, which will lead to an explosion of anger.
Also, if ordinary people talk about this, it's just that, but now that Shen Yun is already a marquis, any word that is spread to the court will not make people lose it. There will always be countless people who have hollowed out their minds. I want to find some other meaning from these words, so as to protect my own interests. Shen Yun has little experience in court games, and can even be said to have no experience, so the emperor and Duke Hu will think about keeping him away from the imperial capital. I didn't expect it. In Xuchang Mansion, Shen Yun said this to Ying Gong, but he said it wrong. Alas!
I thought that Shen Yun, who had thousands of years of knowledge beyond the contemporaries, always felt that they were definitely not his opponents, but he didn't expect that as soon as Yinggong said it casually, he guessed his careful thinking thoroughly, and even beat Shen Yun as a shameless person who "has no king and no father", which is an extremely serious crime in the Han Dynasty, and it is not impossible to even deprive him of his title. The key is to see who the impeachment report is.
As for what advice Shen Mu gave to the emperor before he died, Shen Yunzhen didn't know. But listening to Ying Gong's words, it is obvious that Shen Mu is also against Ying Gong returning to take charge of the cavalry. Thinking of this, Shen Yun couldn't help but secretly scold himself for being too reckless, thinking that he could be invincible with more knowledge than Yinggong, alas, he really underestimated the ancients!
"Your Highness, the little nephew has no such intention, and I also ask Your Highness to learn from it." Shen Yun endured his stomach full of unconvincing and saluted.
Duke Ying was angry, and his mood was much more relaxed-that is, the dignified marquis of the empire stood in front of him like the third grandson and was taught by him, this kind of opportunity is not something that every duke can enjoy-raised his hand to signal Shen Yun and Fang Cheng to sit down, and then said slowly: "Fortunately, Hou Guang, Chang Zhili, and Deng Chong are all the old man's henchmen, and without the old man's orders, they will never dare to leak your words." After speaking, he looked at Fang Cheng and said, "Relatively speaking, you are quite steady, not like this kid, so reckless." ”
Shen Yun also reacted at this time, holding back the fire in his belly, since he crossed over, except for facing his father, when has he been counted down like this? What's more, since no one will tell me about it, what is the matter with you standing here like a grandfather and training me for a long time? Am I really out of temper?
However, Fang Cheng didn't think about these things, but was shocked. The troika of Xuchang Mansion is all the henchmen of the British duke? This is a secret of the British public, right? After all, Duke Ying is only a knighthood, but once he colludes with local real power figures, this crime is not light!
After Ying Gong finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yun again, seeing his appearance, he didn't know that Shen Yun was already angry at this time, and said with a slight smile: "What?" Could it be that Bohai Hou was reprimanded by the old man and was still unconvinced? ”
Shen Yun bowed his hand slightly, his voice was neither high nor low, and he couldn't hear joy and sorrow: "Don't dare!" The elders teach, and the disciples dare not listen! ”
"Hahahaha, I still don't dare. You kid, everything is good, you learned your father's fake appearance of a belly, obviously you don't think so in your heart, but you just don't admit it. Hui'er praised you in front of me as rare in heaven and nothing on earth, but why can't I see it at all? But young people, haha, there should be the momentum of you who dare to be angry and dare to do things! ”
Ying Gong's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, which shocked Shen Yun and Fang Cheng on the spot.
Ying Gong took another sip of tea, squinted at Shen Yun, and said, "What?" Do you dare to deny the affair with Hui'er? ”
"Hui'er? Your Highness, she, I...... I ......"
Mention Zhou Hui. Shen Yun suddenly understood a little, why did Ying Gong dare to teach himself so confidently, and dared to feel that he regarded himself as Shen Yun's father-in-law. The so-called son-in-law is half a son, Lao Tzu teaches his son, and no one dares to beak it. It's just that, how could Zhou Hui tell Yinggong about these things? Also, how much did she say?
Ying Gong suddenly glared and shouted: "Shen Yuanrang, don't you want to give up from the beginning to the end?!" ”
At this moment, the Duke of Ying no longer has the majesty of being a duke. And purely speaking as a father. However, it can also be seen from here that Yinggong loves Zhou Hui, the youngest daughter!
When Shen Yun heard this, he even said that he had abandoned the beginning and the end, and it seemed that Zhou Hui had told all about herself and her. However, unlike those ancient people who would be furious when they learned that their daughter had a relationship with someone in advance, Ying Gong seemed to be a little happy. And he also recognized Shen Yun's son-in-law, otherwise he would not have reprimanded him like a son before.
Fang Cheng on the side was dumbfounded. I kept muttering in my heart: "Damn." Shen Yuan let you kid lie to me, you actually have a 'beginning' with Princess Duanping, and you are still pretending to be a big-tailed wolf in front of me...... It's so damning! However, Ying Gong's attitude today is very strange! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Ying Gong's pattern of taking a stick in front of him and a bite of jujube in the back completely confused Shen Yun. How to leave Xuchang Mansion was a little vague later. Just in memory. It seems that this somewhat changeable old guy is very happy, and sends the two out with a smile.
The matter of Aunt Gongsun was mentioned by Fang Cheng to Ying Gong. Ying Gong did not know about this in advance, but he had also heard of the strange person of Gongsun Auntie. Then he wrote a handwritten letter and asked them to bring it.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is not that the British Duke cannot order the expeditionary fleet to return to the sea, but he is unwilling to give this order for a "dancing girl" who was once a little famous - if he has a unique skill to be able to blackmail the Duke of the Great Han, then there are countless capable people in the world, and everyone will come to insert a rod, isn't this world chaotic?
In the eyes of people of Yinggong's level, Aunt Gongsun is just a folk artist with unique skills.
When he returned to the room, he slept on both sides, but Fang Cheng was not sleepy, he tossed for half a night, and heard that Shen Yun was also rolling the bed board, so he said, "Yuan Rang? Slept? ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he simply sat up and said angrily, "How can you sleep?!" The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, even if he recognized me as a son-in-law, but that lesson still made me angry! Teng Yu: You say, isn't this the reason? ”
Fang Cheng also sat up, lit the lamp, and looked at Shen Yun and said, "Yuan Rang, have you thought about it, in addition to wanting to recognize you as a son-in-law, what does Ying Gong mean in today's words?" ”
"What do you mean?" Shen Yun's mind was full of anger now, and he really couldn't turn a corner, so he asked Fang Cheng, "Is there anything else besides this?" ”
Fang Cheng smiled: "Of course." You are provoked by Yinggong, plus the affairs of the eldest lady of the Yan family and Princess Duanping give you a headache, haha, the authorities are confused! ”
Shen Yun glared at him angrily and said, "Then you bystander should tell me about it." ”
Fang Cheng smiled and said, "I think that in addition to recognizing you as a son-in-law, Ying Gong actually wants to express kindness to some people through you!" ”
Shen Yun is also a thoughtful person, thinking of the fact that the Ying Gong said that the troika of Xuchang Mansion was his confidant today, and later he was a kind and kind old man, as well as those seemingly serious, but inconsequential words, and suddenly understood.
However, understanding is understanding, but the truth is even more difficult for Shen Yun to accept.
"Ying Gong wants to abandon the Hou Party and join the Imperial Party?" This is Shen Yun's judgment.
Fang Cheng nodded, and shook his head again: "It doesn't matter if the Imperial Party is the post-party, in fact, the whole world belongs to the Liu family's royal family, and the post-imperial party is just a force." However, it is certain that Duke Ying wants to express his goodwill to His Majesty and Duke Hu, otherwise he will definitely oppose the matter between you and Princess Duanping......"
When Shen Yun heard this, a knot in his heart suddenly loosened. Zhou Hui, this girl who dares to love and hate, and has a straightforward temperament, is she really unsympathetic to her? ! Apparently not. It's just that Yinggong is a queen party, and it's just because the queen mother killed her father, so she can't be affectionate...... Wait, if Ying Gong wants to express his goodwill to the imperial party, wouldn't it be that the old witch of the Queen Mother is missing a big help? Do you have a better chance of revenge?
Thinking of this, Shen Yun couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Fang Cheng thought for a moment, and then said, "Yuan Rang, why do you say that Ying Gong suddenly wants to get close to the Imperial Party?" Aren't the people at both ends of the rat head the most unpopular? ”
Shen Yun said: "It depends on who it is." Ying Gong's words are right, how big a bowl can eat as much as you want. A big guy of his level no longer cares about the camp. Whoever can give him the greatest benefit, he can lean on as much as he wants. Teng Yu, we are the ones who follow the rules, and they are the ones who can make the rules! That's the difference! ”
These words are a bit out of the language style of this era, but they do not prevent Fang Cheng from understanding them.
Shen Yun continued: "I think there should be a result of the party struggle between the DPRK and China, Ling Zun went to Jinling some time ago, presumably to talk about these things with Ying Gong. His Majesty must have given Ying Gong a satisfactory price...... It's just that I don't know what the situation is on Zhigong and Lianggong's side. If it can be done, hmph, then the party will completely disappear. ”
Fang Qian looked at Shen Yun with a complicated expression and muttered, "I hope so!" ”
Thinking that the revenge was about to be avenged, and Zhou Hui's matter could be perfectly solved, Shen Yun was in a good mood, rolled up his clothes, lay back on the bed, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and sleep, and go back to the imperial capital tomorrow!" ”
"Hmm!" Fang Cheng blew out the lights and lay down with a heavy heart. His eyes were wide open, and he didn't know what he was thinking. (To be continued.) )
